Imaculate KB 2.8 GT 500

[Dennis Reinhart]

This is probably the cleanest car I have seen in a long time, this man has a fortune in this car, the valve covers are chromed with light blue tent, the car had never been on a Dyno, and it was good he brought it in the AF was lean so KB will make a correction and send it to me since I am this regions KB dealer.

The reason why its lean is it went from a 3.3 to a 3.0 pulley, so KB will take care of this and will recheck it KB has the best product support and is the leader in cutting edge new release kits this car will make a easy 700 RWHP when were done.

That Shelby is one beautifull piece of machinery!

So, the KB blower is better than the factory unit? Excuse my ignorance, but can you explain the difference and the result of such a change? I see that at 6200 rpm the hp curve still hasn't gone flat and that the Tq is only just starting its downward slide. Must be a comlpete monster to drive. Can't imagine how he gets it to hook up.

David we have been very slow, but the general repair is finaly opening up, people are investing in there older cars where they would trade them in the past years, Huge difference in these SC David much more efficient blower, I will ask Jerry W, to help me with the comparisons. He did all the calibrations for this car.

Can anyone see what im seeing???

A good friend of mine has a 2.8KB on his Shelby. On straight 100 it makes 675rwhp. On 91' 625, on C16...hold on to your hats 808rwhp @ 775ftlbs of tq over 600 is avalible by 2500rpm. I rode in the car and I've never rode in something that burned through 4th gear on drag radials. Very intense.... That much power though, honestly is useless if you don't put slicks on it.

Would you happen to be looking at that very scary A/F line and how lean the car is running? Or perhaps the huge risk that was taken by running the car WOT with the A/F like that? :eek:

Well there was no huge risk since I did see it the first run, and advised the owner no other pulls could take place till this was corrected, and the owner never ran the car hard prior to bringing it here, so this is a very good example of why you should always check the AF, After install.

The day I saw this car make 808 rwhp on the dyno I thought the world was coming to an end. The sound. I can't even describe the sound that blower made. Awesome. Truly awesome.

That's crazy. There's a guy in town with a '96 Supra single turbo conversion that's making about 720rwhp/850rwtq on only 20lbs (capable of 25) and his neighbor just picked up an '07 GT500 and it's at my tuner's shop getting a KB put on with a few other mods and getting tuned. Should be interesting come this summer.

[Vortech347]

Bah, I'd rather drive a SVT Focus before a Supra. The Focus will make more torque till 5000rpm. LOL.
